This was an MS trick to prevent exactly what you're trying to do. They
formatted the disks as 1.7MB to confound the casual pirater, and generally
make life difficult for the rest of the world.
Try one of:
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 60 Jul 6 2000 /dev/fd0u1722
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 76 Jul 6 2000 /dev/fd0u1743
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 96 Jul 6 2000 /dev/fd0u1760

The curtain goes up, the first pawn moves, the first shot is fired
(probably at the first pawn) - but that's not the start.
